Just some more welding on the fender inners and fender wells. Apparently Optima looks for inner fenders.

Today was a cleanup everything day. That never means that you are done, but something that needed to get done got done.

Just love when I can sit at the drafting table and whip off some drawings for the man who operates the CNC plasma. These are for the coilover brackets and they are designed to be able to move an inch at a time. If that seems like too large a move; notice that there are 2 different offsets so we have ½ inch adjustability. Technically we should never be more than a ¼ inch away from placing the shock where we want it.

I almost pooped myself when Facebook marketplace showed me this. Let’s see it’s a 351 roller Windsor with an OD auto trans. It’s 2 wheel drive and is fully optioned. This people is a freakin unicorn!
I will use this powertrain and wiring harness to initially get the car running and moving and after selling all the parts off it that I don’t need I should break even.
The previous owner babied this truck to no end. After we signed the papers I told him what its fate was going to be. He nearly cried, but I showed him what I was working on and he wasn’t as sad. BUT he was still sad!

Dummy Styrofoam 351w block for doing mounts and other stuff.
I actually never used it, not even once…………………………..

The progress comes and goes. I am lucky enough to have quite a few posts in the bank. I am basically posting them as I complete another one. I am about 60 posts behind.
